After a three day course with Hilary Jean Gibson, through the St Ives School of Painting, I created a sketchbook of observations made at the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden. Here I am sharing some of the pages & ideas.
My latest work 'Metallic texture' is a combination of unique copper & brass designs. Each individual cut out piece has a one-off surface. Inspired by Barbara Hepworth & Troika pottery the framed assemblages have a 'retro' feel.
I thought I would document my design process for a new collection of jewellery which has been several years in the making. Creating the 'master' patterns from metal which will be reproduced using the lost wax casting process.
A link to 'A day in the life of a metalworker' article by photographer Rick Davy who visited my St Ives garden studio in December last year. Beautiful images created on film for the @cornishlives project.
In October we continued with the #365dailycreate project with some mark making with natural objects. Diluted ink was applied with various found objects made into 'brushes'.
Time for a little catch up after a full on summer in St Ives! Hopefully time to create again over the next few weeks so the website can be restocked with work...
'Harbour lights' is our next event happening at the St Ives Arts Club at the end of this month. Alison Dupernex will be joining myself with her colourful textiles.
